A bit of fat and polish on the nose but some complexity and backbone on the palate.

Nose of orange, yuzu, lemon, lime, apricot, there is a tiny touch of pineapple too. There is tiny touch of vanilla and some gun powder touch. This is rich and intense. The palate is rich too, a good acid backbone but some matter and some width, a soft mouthfeel with almost a liquorish, thickness to it like what could find in some nice condrieu. There is a bit of grip and a tiny bitter note in the end that plays along the freshness of the acid drive. This is actually very nice! We had it along a free range chicken we cooked on the grill and it was a great pairing.

Tasted this at the winery and bought a couple of bottles that have reinforced that choice. Crisp and dry. Tastes of apricots, pineapples and pears. Almost an effervescent finish.

Love the nose of apricots and preserved lemon. Very rich golden color. Nice palate of the same with a touch of minerals at the end.
